《中英對照讀新聞》French woman steals from supermarket 3,500 times 法國女狂偷超市3500次

A French woman stole from a supermarket in the western town of Pontarlier some 3,500 times and sold the loot on eBay to help pay the household bills, the daily Le Parisien reported.

巴黎人日報報導,一名法國女子在法國西部城鎮彭達利爾的一間超市偷竊達3500次,然後在eBay拍賣網站出售贓物,以清償家用帳單。

In 2004 the woman, who was not identified, observed a boy steal some items from the store without triggering the alarm, which was defective. That encouraged her to do the same.

在2004年,這名姓名不詳的女子曾目睹一個男孩從店裡偷走一些東西,而且未觸動警鈴,原因是防盜系統有缺陷。這次經驗讓她開始有樣學樣。

Over the next two years, on an almost daily basis, and sometimes more than once a day, she walked out of the store with video games, CDs, DVDs, razor blades or calculators and immediately put them up for sale on the internet auction site.

在接下來2年,她幾乎每天都偷點東西,有時甚至一天偷超過一次,從店內拿走電玩遊戲、CD、DVD、刮鬍刀片或計算機,然後立即將贓物放上拍賣網站出售。

Some 3,700 sales, totalling 85,000 euros, were registered on eBay under her name before police investigators specializing in internet crime caught up with her.

在警方網路犯罪專家揪出她之前,她總共透過eBay網站的帳戶賣出約3700件贓物,取得8萬5000歐元。
